Three brands of hummus with pine nut topping — including Walmart’s Marketside brand — are being recalled in the U.S. and Canada for potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes because the pine nuts were supplied by Hudson Valley Farms Inc., which found the pathogen in its production facility.

House of Thaller, a Knoxville, TN, company initiated the hummus recall after Hudson Valley Farms notified it of the problem in the production facility, according to the recall notice posted on the Food and Drug Administration’s website. The hummus products were distributed to Target and HEB stores, as well as other retailers.

The Tennessee company distributed the Marketside, Lantana and Fresh Foods Market branded hummus to various grocery retailers from April to June, including Walmart and Giant Eagle, nationwide in the U.S., and on April 20 in Canada.

No illnesses have been reported in connection to the recalled hummus products, or a variety of other products including granola, protein bars and trail mix with organic dates distributed by other companies who used foods sourced from Hudson Valley Farms (HVF).

An FDA spokesman told Food Safety News on Monday that Hudson Valley Farms has stopped operations and will not restart without prior notice to FDA.

“The FDA is working with Hudson Valley Foods Inc. to facilitate their recall and remove potentially contaminated food from the marketplace. Additionally, the firm is working on corrective actions to remediate the situation and identify the source. We have no further information to share at this time,” said the FDA spokesman.

According to the recall notice for the pine nut hummus, HVF Inc. supplied the roasted pine nuts used to create the garnish for selected varieties of hummus.

“Routine sampling of a different item produced by the supplier for a different company revealed positive Listeria Monocytogenes findings,” according to the hummus recall notice. “HVF Inc. is recalling all products made in their facility during the time of the potential contamination.
